True, but question: do you believe the US is doing the same or not? Whether it's the actual government or companies

It's an irrelevant question. Two wrongs don't make a right. It just makes things more toxic. It's wrong when the US does it, like anyone else. None of these governments with corrupt centralized power should exist. And this sort of propaganda doesn't help people.

It doesn't matter if its the US, Russia or China.

Leading governments launching campaigns to destabilize countries of millions of people while promoting their preferred fascist takeover has ultimately the same effect.

The working class suffers and loses while the elite endlessly benefit.

Of course not! The US is probably using LLMs.

They're indisputably doing the same, except that the flow of instructions and money follows the US model instead.

You won't find a government-signed paycheck anywhere (well... maybe), but the people who Congressman and Senators and their PACs have to beg for money, are the same people funding dark astroturfing movements.
